Description:

Human Rights serves as an introduction to the law, theories, and practice of international human rights, together with the instruments, organizations and arrangements that affect their implementation and enforcement. We will consider some of the most salient, and often controversial, contemporary human rights challenges we face today, here in the U.S. and abroad. The course includes discussions with University faculty and expert practitioners, combining a historical overview of international human rights agreements and contemporary case studies.

This course, new for 2017, is currently being developed so additional information will be available soon.

International Student – $1500 (includes all academic programs, residence hall accommodations, and all meals) CGS Summer Programs are partially supported by a US Department of Education T6 Grant. We are unable to offer the subsidized price to international students due to funding regulations.

International Students should contact the Center for Global Studies to make specific arrangements for your participation. International students that require additional support (such as ESL assistance) may incur additional costs.

Academic Program fee waivers are need-based and can range from $250 – $900. In order to be considered for a waiver, please complete a Financial Aid (available February 1, 2017) form and return it to the Center for Global Studies by May 31, 2017. International students are not eligible for program fee waivers.
